Rome to Sicily and back to Rome - which airline?
We have a flight booked to Rome in October arriving on a Sunday and have decided to spend the first week or so in Sicily. We want to fly Rome to Palermo as soon as we arrive in Rome. We will travel in Sicily and the return Catania to Rome on a Saturday. It looks like Wind Jet, Blue Panorama and Alitalia are the only airlines that fly these routes.
Any advice on which is the best airline given the fact that I want to book these tix on-line from the US now? We are flying to Rome on a Delta ticket (but an Alitalia flight) and arriving in Rome on a Sunday. The price for Alitalia tix are exhorbitant - 350 USD pp each leg. The best schedule is Blue Panorama and it will give us about 2 hours from the time our flight lands at Fiumicino. Is this airline reliable? Thanks!

I have used many price comparison sites over the past few years. Someone directed me to skyscanner when it was in its very early stages. It is very price competitive.
I have absolutely no idea how these things work but it frequently integrates with expedia to produce better routes prices than the same requirements keyed directly into expedia.
Low cost operators always need to be booked well in advance. I am finding the reverse with large scheduled carriers which seem to offload capacity closer to departure.

Alitalia would be ideal. You could just check your bags through to Palermo. But....
Immigration can be very slow at Fiumicino, plus you'd have to retrieve your bags and drag them over to the other terminal. 2 hours would be the minimum I think, allowing also for flight delays.
